The Bighorn Canyon Artist In Residence program started in 2014. Since then artists from all over the country and from many different artistic backgrounds have spent two weeks per artist showcasing the canyon. The park is looking for four more artists in 2020.

 

Bighorn Canyon is now taking applications for the 2020 Artist In Residence program. Artists in this program will be able to discover and interpret Bighorn Canyon through their own creative projects. Writers, sculptors, musicians, composers, photographers, painters, culinary and performing artists are all welcome to apply for this program. Artists must submit a resume, online links or photos of their work and a letter of intent. The letter should include why the artist is interested in helping to preserve, through their work, Bighorn Canyon’s resources. The application can be emailed or mailed to Christy Fleming by January 31, 2020. Park staff will review the applications and select artists for the program. 

 

Housing in 2020 is limited. Available housing dates are: March 29 to May 9, and September 13 to October 31. During the summer months, artists may bring their own RV and a camping site will be provided.

 

Applications for the Bighorn Canyon Artist In Residence program can be found on the park website at https://www.nps.gov/bica/getinvolved/supportyourpark/artist-in-residence.htm. 

Applications must be turned in by January 31, 2020. For more information, call Christy Fleming at [phone] or email her at [e-mail]
